 The ''eyeball''  ball socket is held captive by a ring [ collar ], if

 the ring has moved outboard, it will allow the eyeball to swivel too

 far, that is why the pin will jam in the hole.


	


What also helps is to use a bit of sticky grease ("white grease")

between the ball and the collar, and not moving the flap drive tube to a

different position when the wings are off. The ball will then stay in

the right position to catch the pin.

Before I had the sticky grease on but some teflon doped oil in it

instead, the balls turned with any movement and rigging was sometimes

very difficult.
